Darling, well appointed house in a vibrant location

This was an ideal place for a three-day stay with our dogs. The house is darling and well appointed, the neighborhood vibrant and walkable. Emma was a most attentive and solicitous host. We will definitely stay here again!

Loved our stay

A beautiful house in a lovely neighborhood. I loved the decor and all of the extra touches such as, snacks, soaps & lotions, and the French press coffee. We came to this area to go to a concert at the Avondale Brewery and it was a short walk to the venue from the house. A great location for walking around town. We will definitely return!

Family & friends visit

Perfect property for coming back to Birmingham to see family and friends. Great location near Avondale Park with many restaurants within a couple blocks. The house is totally updated with a large fenced back yard for our young dog. The property was clean and fresh on arrival, bed was comfortable and property manager checked with us during the stay to ensure all was well. We loved this spot!

Really cute house very close to our venue and lots of activity

This house was a really great choice for our weekend activities. It was so close to where we needed to be and we enjoyed so much about the house. It was laid out well and was very clean - just as described. We only had a couple of questions that the owner was able to answer for us and offered to take care of. More instruction about how to use the shower in the main bathroom might be helpful for future guests, but we were finally able to figure that out. The Keurig was broken but again, the owner was happy to try to help us out. We also left our wallet there after our stay, and she was able to find that and mail it back to us, which was so kind! I would have preferred to have had a phone number for the owner instead of having to email and wait for a reply but the owner was able to respond and help us out. We loved all of the areas to lounge. We loved access to multiple TVs. We enjoyed trying the coffees and teas, but would have preferred a regular coffee pot - personal preference- lol. Also, parking was easy, and it was fantastic to have a washer and dryer on site. That came in very handy.
